Ohio maintained its 7th-place position through 2014. Now let’s look at the 20 states that had the biggest increases.
Total GDP Growth in Millions 2013-2014 1. California: +98,625 2. Texas: +90,843 3. New York: +62,927 4. Florida: +39,247 5. Pennsylvania: +22,596 6. Illinois: +21,080 7. Ohio: +20,416 8. Georgia: +20,000 9. Washington: +19,892 10. Massachusetts: +18,470 11. Colorado: +18,325 12. Michigan: +16,842 13. North Carolina: +16,051 14. New Jersey: +11,703 15. Oregon: +10,810 16. Tennessee: +10,479 17. Arizona: +9,422 18. Maryland: +9,222 19. Minnesota: +8,934 20. Virginia: +8,629
So Ohio is growing at the same position as its overall ranking. No states below it are set to pass it anytime in the near future. In fact, the gap is widening from its nearest threats.
What about per-capita GDP, which is a measure of the state’s total GDP divided by its population?

Out of the 31 peer and Midwest metros, Columbus had the 7th highest natural growth, the 10th highest migration rate and the 11th highest overall growth rate.
